Flames started to melt the steel structure of the upper deck, and a huge section plunged onto the ramp below.
There is a hell of a difference between blind faith, and belief based on a large body of evidence, experimentation and common sensefela fan said:Stupid i am not, little i am not, man i am. That's one out of three editor, more intelligence required i think.
Belief is cheap. Believing something requires very little effort, just accept what others say.
For some though this is a poor way to live life. I don't say experts are automatically wrong, just that i will not take their word for it unless i have experienced it myself. And if i haven't, then i remain appropriately on the fence.
"a vast amount of highly qualified people - whose sources have been checked and validated"
Not a small amount then? Vast, my that is big. Not just qualified, but 'highly' qualified. Wow. I always say beware of those who love their adjectives. And their sources have been checked and validated? Nice use of the passive voice there, care to tell me who actually did the checking and validating? Was it you? If not, then that is yet more people you seem happy to do your thinking for you.
Editor, you are obviously a very good believer. Do you believe the official version of 911?

It is not a dangerous road to go down. I can seperate the physical description of the events from the political exploitation of them.fela fan said:There may well be, but where's the blind faith? Who's indulging in it?
But, look, 'a large body of evidence'. Here we go again, 'large' this time. And is this or any amount of evidence available to those that have decided to believe it?
Believing something or someone is a dangerous road to go down. Would you not agree mike?
fela fan said:Kyser: fela fan's spokesman.
But a faulty spokesman. I sack you. Regarding 'experts' i refuse to just take their word for it. Now ksyer you may deduce this is somewhat different to 'doesn't believe' them.
And then there's science which i'm happy to accept.

I think you are arguing my point for me there!fela fan said:I beg to differ. Belief, blind belief even, has brought us the cult of religions and allowed politics to take the major role in organising our lives. Both are divisive, and both bring us perpetual war on our planet.
Belief has brought us God, and accordingly we never take ultimate responsibility for our own lives. God'll fix it.
Believing (or just accepting; maybe the same) the polis, or experts, or religious preachers, is great news for them. To question them at all turns is one of the few positive ways forward for our more than dangerous road.

I don't believe in any god because it requires blind faith with no supporting evidence. That is very different from acceptance of the explanation about the collapse of WTC 1 & 2, a situation which, IMO, is reasonable within the framework of my knowledge of physical and engineering principles.
Gingerman said:To be honest if Bush and Co were able to organise a hughly complex operation like 9/11 how come they were'nt able to organise the simple job of planting a few WMDs in Iraq and why an overlaberate plot involving airliners and thousands of witnesses,a few lorries parked around New York packed with massive amounts of semptex would have been just as effective.Why did they use S.Arabian highjackers?Why not a few Iraqis with a few Iranians thrown in?
fela fan said:Anything requiring intelligence, bush most certinanly could not organise. Assuming it was an inside job,
Just imagine if you will that cia operatives are embedded in many countries of the world. They're not easy to spot coz, for example, in pakistan, they are pakistanis, in saudi, they are saudis, and so on.
Imagine again, that obl was the cia's operative in saudi. Just get him to do all the organising, tell him this is a new cia operation, and get him to do it all, get locals to volunteer for the mission.
Of course we do know that he used to work for the cia, and we are told he organised it all. This easily sits with MIHOP. And we do know for a fact that within minutes of the attacks being over, the americans were informing the world that obl was responsible...
We also know that the US happily helped out saddam hussein until such a time as he was no longer of any use, and bingo, take him out. The same could be said for obl... and interestingly after bush declaring obl was wanted dead or alive after the attacks, and was america's most wanted man, the US basically never went after him. They stopped the search.
MIHOP is actually very easy, and only needed a few americans to be involved at the beginning. To get an idea who those americans might have been, check out PNAC and their mission statement...

You calling other people naive is a little bit rich to say the least.
